Fast Freddie Nabs Street Bike Cash -- Teitsma Repeats Pro Bike Win

We had a perfect day for drag racing as just enough cloud cover would come over to make the track have some great grip. We held the Street Bike Showdown which was sponsored by Wheel A Way Motorsports and the turnout was great. We had nearly 300 race vehicles all competing in the various classes so it was a busy day. Here is the recap of the action:
